Angolan Coconut Dessert (Cocada Angolana)

ZWT7 Africa. An intensely sweet dessert. Pretty much coconut candy. If you love shredded coconut, you’ll be in heaven. Make sure to add plenty of cinnamon; the warm spice rounds out the flavor. From, globaltableadventure.com.

Algerian Basboussa – Semolina Cake With Syrup

There are many, many versions of Basboussa ( and many spelling variations!) throughout the Arab world. Some of these are a spongy cake-like texture & some are more of a grainy texture. This Algerian version is more of a cake-like texture – which happens to be my favourite. I absolutely love the addition of coconut in the recipe, it really adds something to the Basboussa. This recipe is extremely simple to make & is delicious served with coffee or tea. It is definitely a Ramadan staple in our home!

Buea Coconut Joloffe Rice (Cameroon)

This is a vegetarian joloffe rice – the fresh vegetables added to the sauce can vary or be substituted with frozen mixed vegetables. This Cameroonian-style joloffe rice is made with coconut milk and in the Cameroons it is usually cooked with meat. Basmati rice, although not traditionally used, makes delicious joloffe and requires less liquid when cooking. From cdkitchen.
